View Full Version : Synthetic Oil = Clutch Slip

I put some Mobil full synthetic oil in my GSXR a while back and I noticed the clutch sort of "graunched" if I dumped it. I've seen a couple of posts hereabouts mentioning synthetics and clutch slippage, so I wasn't too worried as it felt alright on the go.

It's just had a service with mineral oil, but it still feels/sounds funny.

Should I just wait till the new oil soaks into everything or have I fucked something?

not good to go back to mineral after using syn as can reduce life of seals etc maybe grunge up things.

modern syn is fine and i rather use it than mineral - works fine on my dirt bike that gets whey more clutch abuse than anthing on the road does. Run the bandit on this red coloured oil (Silkoline) - works a treat on all suz that me and Chadams have.
